I don't know anyone doing 8VSB over north american cable system yet, it 
appears to be reserved for HDTV. TCI certainly is not doing 8VSB.

FWIW the cable operators compress the holy living shit out of their 
channels so what the customer ends up receiving looks something like 
realvideo over a 56k dialup connection.

I gave up on TCI digital cable because the quality was so horrible, and 
went back to analogue. There is more chroma noise but the terrible 
compression artifacts are gone.
